“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:
There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind,
alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
There is nothing more or else to it,
and there never has been."
~Frank Wilhoit, composer

@pluralistic Hmm ... "laws that protect *some* people but not the disfavored group". You and Mr. Wilhoit are on the same wavelength.

People of Earth, your attention, please. This is Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz of the Galactic Hyperspace Planning Council. As you will no doubt be aware, the plans for development of the outlying regions of the Galaxy require the building of a hyperspatial express route through your star system. And regrettably, your planet is one of those scheduled for demolition. The process will take slightly less than two of your Earth minutes. Thank you.

This may be a temporary phenomenon, as the quote feature hasn't been rolled out to all instances yet. I guess, the error message should correctly read: This instance doesn't yet support the quote feature.
